Best regex library for iphone sdk app?

I'm confused about the regex libraries that are available in the iPhone SDK. For example RegexLite looks like it needs a dynamic link, and from what I understand, this is not possible for the SDK on the iPhone.

I want a RegEx library for data validation... which one is the best available?

John Englehart (regexkitlite developer) has posted to cocoa-dev saying that apps are being rejected for using it. http://lists.apple.com/archives/Cocoa-dev/2010/Jun/msg00564.html

RegexKitLite is available and works properly on iPhone either included from source as part of your Xcode project or by linking in a static library (which the ToS of the SDK do permit).
